Di che cosa tratta
Una parte staccata del primo volume della Storia d'Inghilterra di Hume, in un'edizione che lo suddivide in frammenti.
Contesto e storia
Il titolo lo dice, ma conviene sottolinearlo: questo è un pezzo, non un'opera. Nel catalogo c'è anche il primo volume intero di un'altra edizione, e le due cose si sovrappongono.

She fell on her knees, and expressed her thanks to Heaven for the deliverance which the Almighty had granted her from her bloody persecutors; a deliverance, she said, no less miraculous than that which Daniel had received from the den of lions. This act of pious gratitude seems to have been the last circumstance in which she remembered any past hardships and injuries. With a prudence and magnanimity truly laudable, she buried all offences in oblivion, and received with affability even those who had acted with the greatest malevolence against her. Sir Henry Benningfield himself, to whose custody she had been committed, and who had treated her with severity, never felt, during the whole course of her reign, any effects of her resentment.[**] Yet was not the gracious reception which she gave, prostitute and undistinguishing.…
